1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer; however, the simultaneous occurrence of urogenital tuberculosis and bladder cancer is rare. Primary prostate tuberculosis is relatively uncommon in patients with urogenital tuberculosis. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man presented with gross hematuria and irritative voiding symptoms. Cystoscopy revealed a bladder tumor. The PSA level was elevated (8.32 ng/mL), and MRI findings suggested prostate cancer. Chest radiography and CT indicated pulmonary tuberculosis, which was confirmed by sputum mycobacterial culture and PCR. Urine mycobacterial cultures revealed urinary tuberculosis. TURBT and prostate biopsy were performed after initiating treatment for tuberculosis and confirming sputum conversion. Histopathological examination revealed urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and prostate tuberculosis. Conclusion: This is the first reported case of concurrent bladder urothelial carcinoma and prostate tuberculosis. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis may benefit from evaluation for urogenital tuberculosis, including prostatic involvement, and consideration of coexisting urothelial carcinoma.
